Shakespeare in the Parking Lot

We went with our friends last Saturday night to Shakespeare in the Park . . . ing lot. They put on a great performance of Twelfth Night, and Cassandra and her husband brought us the best donuts I think I've ever had from the Doughnut Plant. Performance photos from LarimdaME.

The crib

This is the crib my dad is making for our incoming bundle of joy. It's really beautiful as you can see. 

Satirical Observation

I know this might be old to some of you but, after showing Emily, we joke about how we often find it to be true. Like the other night at the Feist concert at Prospect Park.

Palmyra Trip

We had a fun weekend up at my parent's house. Emily had her first pageant experience as well. I enjoyed being with my sisters and brother. It was especially fun playing catch with frisbees and footballs before the performance began. We stopped by grandma's house as well.

Duty, done

So I was on Grand Jury duty in Brooklyn for the past two weeks. Unlike a trial jury that hears one case, we heard 35 cases and decided whether to indict (true bill) or to dismiss (no true bill). It was an interesting experience. Here is a list of a few things I learned:

(1) Where not to go in Brooklyn

(2) Most crimes happen at night

(3) Drugs aren't that expensive

(4) Cell phones are hot items to steal

(5) Grand Jury Duty=lots of reading time (read three books)

(6) I'm proud to be a Brooklynite (based on my fellow jurors)

(7) Brooklyn is quite diverse (and Russians are nice)

All in all it was a good experience. Heard a few terrible crimes though. I was also able to share some of my beliefs with a few people on the jury along with a Book of Mormon. I kinda think Grand Jury duty is a waste of our time if, like in other states, a judge can just do what we did. They let me go free for ten more years in NY State.
